COMPUTER SCIENCE Teacher Manual

Term I-II

2

Foreword

Uolo’s Tekie program offers a coding-focused curriculum for grades 1 to 8, preparing students for the technology-driven world. We present a carefully crafted Teacher Manual to assist teachers in delivering effective and engaging lessons to students. Rather than prescribing teaching methods, the manual provides examples and demonstrates how and why teachers can apply these examples in their classes.

Within the academic year, the Tekie program prescribes the following types of chapters and sessions:

Theory: these periods are dedicated to the Computer Science Theory chapters. These topics are mostly delivered in the classroom.

Tools: these periods are dedicated to the Computer Tools chapters. These topics involve almost equal numbers of classroom and computer labs sessions.

Coding: these periods are dedicated to the Coding chapters. These topics have more computer lab sessions.

Each chapter in this manual is structured to provide a comprehensive lesson plan. The chapters are divided into multiple sessions, each following the Warm up, Engage, Build, and Sum up (WEBS) strategy. The Warm up phase sets the stage for learning by connecting to prior knowledge and building curiosity. The Engage phase captures the students’ attention and motivates them to participate actively. In the Build phase, questions from various sections are discussed to build the understanding of the students. Finally, the Sum up phase reinforces learning through easy-to-recall activities and questions. Time duration for each section has been suggested based on the requirements of the students. Additionally, an answer key for every chapter is provided to assist teachers in assessing their students’ understanding and guiding their learning effectively.

We hope that this teacher manual will empower teachers to use the curriculum effectively, support the learning of all students thoroughly, create learning opportunities and design interactive learning environments that cater to the students’ needs and interests.

Computer—An Electronic Device

Story Time

Story in a Nutshell…

Conji becomes familiar with the world of gadgets and computers when he starts teaching some spells to Mel. Mel casts the wrong spell, and the keys of the keyboard go missing. So, Conji teaches him about the reverse spells. Elder Wizard tells them that Lord Ero is trying to steal the computer mouse to cause trouble. They get to know that computers are important to Avora, and they must hide all its parts in the Memory Palace so that Muses can protect them. Instead, Muses play with the order of the files and disturb them. They learn how to sort them. Elder Wizard announces an art contest in Avora. They learn to draw in MS Paint, and the trio is declared the winner. Suddenly, Avora becomes colourless as Lord Ero casts a spell. They use magic and MS Paint to bring the colours back.

Story in a Nutshell…

Conji is familiarised with the world of gadgets and computers when he starts teaching some spells to Mel. Mel casts a wrong spell, and the keys of the keyboard go missing. So, Conji teaches him about the reverse spells. Elder Wizard tells them that Lord Ero is trying to steal the computer mouse to cause trouble. They get to know that computers are important for Avora and they have to hide all its parts in the Memory Palace so that Muses can protect it. Instead, Muses play with the order of the files and disturb it. They learn how to sort them. Elder Wizard announces an art contest in Avora. They learn to draw in MS Paint and the trio is declared as the winners. Suddenly, Avora becomes colourless as Lord Ero casts a spell. They use magic and MS Paint to bring the colours back.

Colouring Drawings

Story Time

Story in a Nutshell…

Conji is familiarised with the world of gadgets and computers when he starts teaching some spells to Mel. Mel casts a wrong spell, and the keys of the keyboard go missing. So, Conji teaches him about the reverse spells. Elder Wizard tells them that Lord Ero is trying to steal the computer mouse to cause trouble. They get to know that computers are important to Avora, and they have to hide all its parts in the Memory Palace so that Muses could protect it. Instead, Muses play with the order of the files and disturb it. They learn how to sort them. Elder Wizard announces an art contest in Avora. They learn to draw in MS Paint, and the trio is declared as the winners. Suddenly, Avora becomes colourless as Lord Ero casts a spell. They use magic and MS Paint to bring the colours back.
